The mixed p4k review that just dropped was prob a necessary bit of correction to the initial rash of premature 5 star reviews that came out like day of but gosh I do not think it's a good piece of criticism (inb4 "p4k is woke/p4k has always sucked", that's not the point)

I get that the politics of the kodak features and auntie diaries are hairy to say the least but they really give him 0 benefit of the doubt, especially given that one of the major themes of the album is his own growth/reckoning with imperfections. Feels like an overcorrection to their lauding of Kanye over the years before he went fully sideways

It’s just that he probably could have easily illustrated some of the finer details of that narrative without boosting the career of a rapist or dropping 47 f bombs

If the presentation of the themes of his growth and reckoning have to come at the expense of the people most hurt by the very topics he’s addressing it raises into question if he really has grown or reckoned with those imperfections at all

At one point in the p4k review they call the song “Aunt Diaries”. I mean, the smallest attempt at a good faith review would get the song titles correct, right? A well done 7.6 review of this album is more than feasible, but that one ain’t it.

Auntie Diaries is a real hornet's nest of a song and I love it for that, great mix of (accidentally?) inflammatory discourse-bait and genuinely good intent. I could spend all day reading/imagining heated arguments between people who think it's horrid and people who think it's amazing

That review raises some points but still comes across a little bitchier than it probably needed to, pitchfork be pitchforkin

I think that Kodak's inclusion on the album works twofold, first being a reverse image of what Kendrick is trying to be, and a reminder of what was (toxic, abusive perhaps, misogynistic), and second an anchor to his thought that the cycle of violence affects all.



I believe it would seem double strange from Kendrick to come with a clean edge album, like a shiny product with the sticker of "Completely changed, and C L E A N ✨" on it. It's an acceptance of the contradictions in society, the contradictions that always keep us from being pure and constant, and I like that. Would I support Kodak, hell no. Do I support Kendrick's message of *need* to change. Yes.
